abilitiesThere is more than one way to skin a cat and as along as people have those opportunities to play - that is truly fair play.
Quickly though, one of the accessibility features has a personal place in my heart.
I have two deaf cousins a little older than me. Both of them are pretty good. One thing they told me is that they hate not knowing what was going on in the cutscenes, because there were no subtitles to help.
However, I showed one of them Forza Horizon 5 recently and turned on the sign language feature (which shows a translator in a inset signing the cutscene). My cousin doesn't cry often, but he broke down in tears after seeing that. He was blown away. He told me that this was a dream come true and he never thought it was possible in a video game.
After he left, I wept too because I know how much that meant to him.
A mist just formed in my eyes. Thank you for sharing.
I believe we have a collective responsibility to care about accessibility, whether it is something that directly impacts our own social spheres or not. One day, there's a good chance it will. Better to get ahead with knowledge and understanding.
Dread it. Run from it. Destiny still arrives.
